Session Restore Test Plan

Owner: marcia Created on 10/31/2008

Overview

The major change related to Session Restore for FF 3.1 is to change from a prompt to an error page. According to Alex Faaborg, after the first crash, when you reopen Firefox it automatically restores your session (no dialog or error tab).

The particular challenges with testing this feature would be to make sure there is no data loss when we restore windows and tabs and that the "Restore Session" and "Start New Session" function properly.

Test Strategy

• Test Restore Session Functionality
• Test Restoring Individual Tabs
• Test Restoring Individual Windows
• Test Starting a New Session
• Automated Tests are here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/sessionstore/test/browser/

Schedule Scoping
